It looks like the Sharks might getting more of an edge for tomorrow night’s Game 6.

Kevin Kurz of CSNBayArea.com reports forward Adam Burish is likely set to return to the San Jose lineup and will play on the fourth line. As he told Kurz, if he’s playing it’s to shake things up for his team.

“If I’m playing, I’m expecting to go back and not miss a beat. … I’m not going back in just because I’ve got nice hair. I want to contribute.”

But what if it is about the hair?

Burish practiced on a line with Andrew Desjardins and Bracken Kearns. He has yet to play in this series thanks to a broken hand. He did play all four games in the first-round against Vancouver.
